Am I the only one

That has KRU winning against G2 and EG

Like they kept the core that got them to Champions last year and there is no doubt about it (keznit, Klaus and Melser) and Shyy I understand he didn't have the best season last year but I think he'll fit perfectly in KRU and might be the piece to make it work and mta might be the KRU version of Demon1 with the right team

Plus if we look at EG and G2 I highly doubt KRU will lose to current EG the only reason why they win rounds is cause of jawgemo and G2 from what we have seen from OFF//SEASON has been kinda struggling so I highly doubt they'll overcome KRU in their first match of Tier 1 but will most likely win against EG cause it's a mess

Yes

yes, literally their second best player passed away, idk if u forgot about that. one of their players has little to no experience playing tier 2/tier 3 valorant, Klaus is not good and had a fluke LCQ run, Shyy is good but it won't be enough, keznit is ofc good, Melser is not that good of an igl but hes a decent fragger

after champs, daveeys passed away in the off season

They can beat EG but not G2

People forget how good GUARD was

They’ll be insane with leaf

Of course I remember that DaveeyS passed away who couldn't

But still that shouldn't down play Klaus, keznit or Melser who was up there with him in terms of impact and importance

NagZ included but I just don't think he fits with KRU anymore

My reasoning is: Kept the core that went 0-9 in the regular season, Klaus is not that good, OFF//SEASON for KRU hasn't looked good either so, we don't know how good EG is right now (I don't really expect to be good but you're acting like we've watched them suck), OFF//SEASON results don't matter, we haven't seen G2 play in months and their issues aren't that hard to fix

I mean Kru didn't have the best off-season either

Given the LCQ run I can see them making the play-in but not topping the group

Don't get me wrong G2 is good but they have played in Tier 2 for a whole year plus it's their first official match in Tier 1

I dont have them winning against g2 but they got new player mta who is INSANE
So they might perform even better

I dont think superdome should be counted really cause they had to play with Tacolilla and axeddy who aren't even signed to KRU

I agree, you're the one who brought up OFF//SEASON events, I don't think they mean anything especially since they happened so long ago. That's also only 1 out of my 6 points.

I dont understand why people rate G2 so high, they look nothing like the team that won ascension. Kru are a champions team with a great LCQ performance but there are still gaps in the roster, yet I dont see these gaps costing them against G2 and EG. Kru will be the same team each year where they win on momentum but just arent one of the big ones. I see them being top of their group but EG could honestly surprise everyone, Potter is now very recognised and the pros they have signed are not some tier 2 bums, they have potential

How should it not count G2 had their full roster while KRU could only attend with Shyy, Melser and mta

And had to get 2 people who weren't even signed to the team being Tacolilla and axeddy

Plus Klaus is there IGL and keznit is there star fragger

Plus G2 played 2 OFF//SEASON tourneys with the official roster while KRU only had 1 with a incomplete roster

Highest acs and 1.18 kd is now mid statistically apparently 🤷

Apparently he was a ranked demon in LATAM but I'm unsure

It was literally 3 months ago when they had just gotten Leaf on their team and hadn't practiced that much. The teams they lost to were Sentinels and Oxygen, teams I think would both beat KRU, the games were also very close in all of the matches. They beat Moist x Shopify, who I also think would beat KRU and beat a number of franchised teams. Also Klaus is not KRU's IGL, Melser is.

i have them beating EG but not g2

I think the Melser IGL is a bug on the forum cause he was IGL for old KRU so I don't see why they would change that

I've checked 3 different sites and they all say Melser is the IGL so idk

Even if Melser is IGL Klaus still plays a big massive role on second caller and other IGLish jobs seeing that he was IGL of old KRU no doubt about it
